Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Canonbury

I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my rented flat in Canonbury by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

Generally one should not give notice for your tenancy unless your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they cajole the sellers lawyers, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will aim to achieve

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Yorkshire BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Canonbury?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Canonbury for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Canonbury conveyancing specialists.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Canonbury. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
